Blood from Daming

Chapter 813

Huang Taiji was so angry that his hands and feet were cold when he heard Shuotuo's report, and immediately ordered the servants around him to verify the news. In fact, there was no need to send servants to inquire about the news. , Xue Bin, Gun Chuke and other Manchurian and Han generals filed in. Huang Taiji did not expect Yue Tuo to come to the imperial meeting with his head wrapped.

Huang Taiji felt his throat itchy, and a salty smell gushed out. Huang Taiji wiped it quietly with his sleeve, and it turned out to be bright red blood. Mood, forcibly swallowed the blood in his mouth into his stomach.

Huang Taiji was very sad in his heart, he had hemoptysis again, it is really not a holiday, his dream of building a powerful Jurchen empire, I don't know if he can realize it in his lifetime, Huang Taiji kept reminding himself to calm down, It took a while to calm down.

Duduo, Abatai, Yuetuo, Jierhalang, Li Yongfang, Xue Bin, Gun Chuke and other Manchurian and Han generals were surprised that Huang Taiji did not speak. Most people thought that Huang Taiji was thinking about important issues, so they kept silent. Dare to speak, quietly waiting for Huang Taiji to speak.

Looking at Duduo, Yuetuo, Jierhalang, and Li Yongfang as injured and defeated generals, Huang Taiji felt really uncomfortable, but it wasn't that Duduo, Yuetuo, Jierhalang, and Li Yongfang were incompetent, it was Xue Jiajun who was too incompetent. I can fight, thinking of Xue Jiajun Huang Taiji, I feel powerless all over, and suddenly feel that the sky is unfair to me, and I said angrily in my heart, "Heaven, you are born Yu, how can you be bright?"

Huang Taiji asked with concern: "Yue Tuo, you don't need to come to the tent to listen to orders before your injury recovers."

Yue Tuo took a step forward and said, "Khan, this little injury of my nephew is nothing, I vow not to stop until Xue's army is destroyed."

Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, this Yue Tuo is just blowing his mind, and if the Xue family army is so easy to destroy, you Yue Tuo will not become blind with half eyes. Look at the lame Jierhalang, the crippled Duoduo, Li Yongfang even thought of Mang Gurtai, a disabled man far away in Shengjing, and Huang Taiji's confidence in Xue's army's victory was constantly disappearing.

Huang Taiji turned to Jierhalang and said, "Sixth brother, what happened to the camp of the Xue family's army in Xuezhuang, where the Zalut tribe moved?"

Ji Erhalang staggered out of the line and said: "Khan, my brother was unaware, and was deceived by Ji Laxi, a villain. He has already joined Xue Zhuang and Xue's army."

After Jierhalang finished speaking, he waited quietly for Huang Taiji's thunder to be angry, but after a while, Huang Taiji said: "The Zalut Department has always been devoted to the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that my Dajin was frustrated today, I took the opportunity to surrender to the Xue family army and followed me." Let him go."

Abatai still had a fiery temper: "Khan, you order, I will definitely tear Ji Laxi into pieces."

Huang Taiji said indifferently: "Forget it, it's going to rain, mother wants to get married, go with Ji Laxi and the others, Ben Khan will send an arrow back to Shengjing to ask Dabeile to deal with the rebels of Zalut Buji and others."

Duduo, Abatai, Yuetuo, Shuotuo, Jierhalang, Li Yongfang, Xue Bin, Gunchuk and other Manchurian and Han generals did not expect that Huang Taiji would calm down and attack Jilaxi. West engulfed more than 3000 people from the five tribes of Khalkha, the Zalut, Bayuete, Kuerga, Muboha, and Qibush tribes, and fled. The rake is gone, it seems that the battle with the Ming army in Gyeonggi may not be able to continue.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji ordered the fourteenth brother Dorgon to discuss matters in the Khan tent, and never mentioned the matter of fighting with the Xue family army of the three routes. Among Yongfang, Xue Bin, and Gunchuk, except for Abatai, Li Yongfang, and Xue Bin who hoped for a bloody battle to the end for various reasons, most of the generals just hoped to make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty and go back. Ben's style of play, in the end, his own status was not guaranteed, and his cattle, sheep, women, and servants ranch as other people's property, so he had the idea of ​​leaving the Ming Dynasty Huiguan.

In the next few days, Jianlu and Xue's army confronted each other near Yongdingmen, but the two sides did not fight again. From one day's battle, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed on both sides, and the next day, the battlefield here began to appear quiet, which made the capital officials and the army and the people contrast greatly. , For a while, people in the capital had all kinds of weird guesses about the calmness of the two armies outside the city.

On the second day after the war, Gao Guiying led his troops to rendezvous with Cangzhou Xue Wubu. Gao Guiying was also able to meet his father-in-law Xue Aoren. Gao Guiying finally met Xue Yun's grandfather and father by sacrificing more than 2000 Shaanxi children. The price was really unacceptable for her. On the night after meeting Xue Aoren, Gao Guiying, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally fell ill.

On December 28th, Xue Zhuang, the Xue family army and the Jianlu vanguard retreated respectively. In the afternoon, General Wang Ping escorted his wife Chen to visit her sister Gao Guiying, and met with grandfather Xue Rui and father-in-law Xue Aoren. Jianlu, who was not far away, did not send troops to intervene. Let the Xue Jiajun of the three groups join forces.

On December 29th, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree of kindness to entitle Xue Rui to be the governor of the left, Xue Aoren to be the commander-in-chief, Xue Zong general, Xue Jie Yulin army thousand households, Xue Boqian general, Ni Hongshuang the third-rank wife court grace, and the rest All Xue's troops were rewarded, so Xue Rui led Xue's army to attack the prisoners of Yongdingmen.

After the eunuch passing the decree read the imperial decree, Xue Rui's head became dizzy for a while. What kind of left governor? Didn't he want Xue's army to use his old books to fight Jianlu? And his own unpopularity pushed the descendants and subordinates of the Xue family to the abyss of death.

Although Xue Aoren is an official fan, but he is a defeated general, his son Xue Bo has not washed away his stains, and both father and son are actually promoted, while sacrificing their huge daughters-in-law Gao Guiying, Ma Ming, Li Zhifu, and Xue Wu, who has made outstanding military achievements. , daughter-in-law Chen, Xue Si, Wang Ping, and Qiao Guoliang just encouraged him. The provocation of Emperor Chongzhen is too obvious. If you still can't see clearly, Xue Aoren's life will be in vain.

Xue Jie and Xue Bo were neither happy nor sad, Xue Zong became an official general, and his face showed joy, but when he saw the people in the big tent, all of them looked like mourning concubines, and he had no soldiers or generals, so he raised his eyebrows. Not interested anymore, and now the leaders of Xue Jiajun are more concerned about the safety of Ni Hongshuang, Qin Zhehua and others.

Ms. Chen discussed with Xue Si and Xue Wu in private, and decided not to touch Ni Hongshuang and Qin Zhehua lightly so as not to startle the snake. However, she was not prepared to carry out the imperial decree of Emperor Chongzhen, and she had a stalemate with the Emperor Taiji Department of Jianlu until the fifth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen. Huang Taiji suddenly withdrew his battalion and withdrew to the north. Emperor Chongzhen issued three imperial edicts to urge the Xue family army to pursue them. Seeing that the Xue family army did not follow, the soldiers refused to take a step forward. In the end, they could only watch the Jianlu army retreat calmly.

In the next few days, Emperor Chongzhen sent internal eunuchs to reprimand Xue Rui. Xue Rui couldn't bear it anymore and went up to defend himself: "Xue Jiaerlang suffered more than 1 casualties, including 8000 soldiers killed in battle. Among them, Xue Aoren and Gao Guiying's troops almost existed in name only. Killing a thief, and the court does not have a soldier or food to help the Xue family army, the Xue family army is really a clever woman who can't cook without rice, if the emperor thinks that the old minister is guilty, the old minister can only serve the court with his death."

The Emperor Chongzhen pressed Xue's army at every step, hoping to use wolves to drive tigers so that both Xue's army and Jianlu would be killed. Unexpectedly, Xue Rui, who was the most obedient, would also play tricks. When he started to repair Xue Jiajun, he found that he had no cards to deal with Xue Jiajun in his hand. It was Ni Hongshuang who had not confirmed whether she was Xue Yun's concubine, and Qin Zhehua was an abandoned son. This made Emperor Chongzhen feel very powerless and disappointed.

On the [-]th day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen specially summoned the meritorious generals of the Xue family army, Xue Rui, Xue Aoren, Xue Si, Xue Wu, Miss Chen, Gao Guiying, Wang Ping, Qiao Guoliang, Ma Ming, Xue Zong, Xue Jie, Xue Bo After arguing endlessly, in the end only Xue Rui, Xue Aoren, Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo were willing to return to the capital to see you.

Xue Rui, Xue Aoren, Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo went to see the Emperor Chongzhen with their own thoughts, but Li Zhifu of Jiangzhou who accompanied King Gao Gui Yingqin was not summoned by Emperor Chongzhen. I had a major event, and I stopped thinking about serving the court. I got on the line with Miss Chen, the leader of the Xue family army, and became a member of the Xue family army camp. I was going to return to Jiangzhou to manage my own territory, and wait for the general situation in the world. Change.

Emperor Chongzhen only saw Xue Rui, Xue Aoren, Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo, and he was very disappointed. He knew that at least one conflict between himself and Xue Yun had reached a level that was very difficult to reconcile, and the strength of the Xue family army was exactly the same. They were all in the hands of Xue Yun, so Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to give a few words of encouragement absent-mindedly, and sent Xue Rui, Xue Aoren, Xue Zong, Xue Jie, and Xue Bo back to the mansion to wait for the order, and asked Xue Rui to write to the Xue family army outside Yongding Gate to return home. In situ.

After Ms. Chen received a letter from her grandfather Xue Rui, she led all the Xue family army and Mongolian Jila western troops to move to Xuezhuang the next day. In this way, the city of Beijing finally calmed down. , Huairou, Shunyi, and Jizhou in Miyun were looted, and Xianghe and Luanzhou were conquered successively. Zheng Guochang, the guard of Xianghe, committed suicide and died for the country. Yang Lian, the magistrate of Luanzhou, committed suicide. Day, so that the Jian prisoner returned without success.

On the ninth day of January in the third year of Chongzhen, after Jianlu captured Luanzhou, he divided his troops from Funing to Shanhaiguan, and set up camp at Thirty Miles. The general Weixian led the general Chen Weihan and the guerrilla Zhang Qihua to attack Zunhua under the order of Ma Shilong.Jianlu in the city counterattacked vigorously. The deputy commander Weixian's army fought to the death in the vanguard, and the rear team took advantage of the momentum to attack Zunhua City.The deputy general Wei Xian and the guerrilla Zhang Qihua were caught off guard and all died in battle. More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured and they were defeated.

After the first battle in Zunhua, the Ming army was bloody and wounded, and no longer had the courage to fight Jianlu. King Qin's army mostly gathered on the front line of Fangshan and Changping, and then in the south of Zhili, but refused to advance to the place where Jianlu was located. At this time, Chongzhen The emperor found that his imperial decree was no longer effective, and he had no choice but to sit in the Golden Luan Hall in Beijing, unable to do anything, so he had to deal with Jianlu. They were all guard soldiers who were unbearable to fight, so Sun Chengzong once again turned his attention to several Xue family troops near Gyeonggi.
